Physical fuel card
A plastic or chip card assigned to a driver, vehicle or account for fuel purchases.
Why It Matters
A physical fuel card is a plastic card assigned to a driver or vehicle. Lost or stolen cards create fraud risk until the card is deactivated.
What to Check
- Confirm how quickly a card can be deactivated after it is reported lost or stolen.
- Ask whether a replacement card fee applies and how long delivery takes.
- Keep a record of which driver or vehicle holds each physical card number.
